so its the freedom they talk about alls the times?
Why don’t we just make the internet baded in Antarctica so that then all the country nations of state do habe the ability to as impetus describes all the borders do that which come out. Obviously, this eould just solve the internet. We know it do gooder is me being. Obviously.
for ISPs it might happen For DNSs it could happen to some extent For VPNs, i highly doubt that.
i2p truly is going to be the future.
Oh we’re voting on shit again? Let’s vote on Kegsbreath’s impeachment then.
Meta, X, and ChatGPT have all automated mass piracy of art, music, articles, and anything their genAI touches. Surely you mean to start there?
Its only illegal when peasants do it, not when billionaires do it. *
*it being anything.
That explains the demonic sex cult…
They want to lock down file sharing so no one else can use the data to build AI now that they have it
This. Totally this. Illicit recording of live broadcast radio performances of black jazz and blues artists in the 20’s and 30’s was how the major labels got their coffers large enough to start to change laws to protect them from others doing what they did to those original musicians.
The copyright enforcement laws came into place once they’d established themselves by breaking copyrights.
Utter cunts.
That’s probably why they want regulation
Laughs in I2P
I tested I2P a number of years ago and havent messed with it since. Been wanting to get back into setting it up for torrenting on my server. Will have to do some research and set it back up this weekend. Nows a better time than any I guess. Thanks for the reminder to start again.
I tried it again recently as a comparison to Tor and I much prefer the “everyone is a node” system + full TCP and UDP support, but the main downside is throughput/bandwidth.
It’s excellent if you’ve got time but I wish they would bump the default node share limits so thst the network runs faster.
Yeah, I do know its alot slower. I at least want to get it set up as a fallback if this bullshit the governments are doing actually happens.
How do you get started?
If I remember correctly its setting up a software I2P router on your OS and setting up your browser to only go through that router. Like I said its been a long time since I used it and need to look it up how to set it up and use it again.
We know they think corporations are people, but they’re not the only people they should be serving.
I’m afraid SCOTUS believes you are wrong, which is why it’s so open to rolling back human rights, and hobbling regulatory bodies so that corporations can violate rights with impunity.
meaning, “Block whichever sites we say.”
Yet another FREEDOM bill from the Party of FREEDOM
FREEDUMB! 'Merica, fuck yeah!!
Yet another FREEDOM™ bill from the Party of FREEDOM™
FTFY
You don’t need to copyright it. Everything is copyrighted by default. You can decide to relax your copyright protection if you want, but the © symbol isn’t some magic spell. The sign kinda makes it look like it works the other way.
The sign isn’t meant to be taken literal. It’s hyperbole.
If you tell a joke that you heard from somebody else to a friend you’re breaking the Copyright of the creator of the joke.
If Copyright was strictly enforced it would constantly intrude in people’s lives and pretty much everybody would turn against it.
For people who hate the government, they sure like using it to oppress everyone else.
Yup, all “rules for thee, not for me” isn’t it?
Actually they (Republicans) love the government, specifically because it pays them money to pass corporate protectionism bills. Remember, when Republicans take over and lock out the Democrats, then:
~ They no longer need Republican votes, so officials no longer have to serve their constituents
~ The Executive no longer needs Congress, so their money train is in jeopardy. ~ The businesses no longer need lobbyists, so their money train is in jeopardy.(Considering the level of incompetence we’ve seen in the federal government lately, it’s possible that our congresscritters haven’t fully thought this through.)
We’re in the AI age now, which has shown us IP laws mean nothing when an entire major industry wants to violate them. This has always been true, as the studios and record labels pirated all the time, but it wasn’t as open and in the sunlight as it is with AI development. And Big AI is currently propping up the entire stock market.
It turns out IP laws never meant anything anyway. Copyrights and patents were justified as temporary monopolies to promote science and the useful arts, specifically to produce a robust public domain.
Except it does neither. Artists and scientists are rarely the copyright holders, and to get to own their own stuff, they need to be hot property (still making content) and have good lawyers. Also, the temporary monopolies have become permanent in practice. (much thanks to Walt Disney.) SCOTUS has not only refused to see the public as a stakeholder, but has taken things out of the public domain, so it has to be licensed again, in defiance of the Constitution of the United States.
So now IP law is only a rent-seeking racket. Especially now since you need subscriptions to use your appliances.
But as Sony has made clear for us in 2026, if purchasing isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t a copyright violation.
This bill is a technology solution and has technology countermeasures. They can order ISPs DNSes and VPNs to block piracy sites, but those sites change all the time, and can do so faster than it takes to update the registries. Furthermore, when services don’t follow through, they will get more usage (and will make more money) so there’s a perverse incentive to slow walk the updates, and not talk to whoever makes the lists.
We learned this a long time ago when the biggest selling point of ISPs was free porn and free movies.
Like encryption with backdoors for law enforcement, there’s no way to nerd harder to make it work.
It also depends on foreign service offerings cooperating with US law. Unless we build the Great Firewall of the US (which, I’m sure, is on the table), US offerings will be obligated to follow the law while foreign ones do not, which will run against the interests of local businesses.
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protectes [sic] but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
Motherfucker, I used to have a vaporwave looken one of this due to a decoding error on an old phone and was going to post it but now I can’t find the sombitch. Fack.
There are literally open DNS providers who run their own networks. Good luck.
An who decides what is piracy? The facists? This is a bad idea.
I have a seedbox in a country that gives no fucks, so I’ll just use a DNS provider in a country that gives no fucks. You can make it harder, but you can’t make it impossible.
And it’s not like it’s so much harder to press a few extra buttons. Bonus: you’re safer online, so if anyone wants to go down the road, they’ll just be safer online.
They’re all a bunch of fucking idiots, the people making these bills.
Wish people would realize they are NOT idiots.
This erodes privacy and allows character assassinations on anyone who wants to be safe and/or private by using those VPN that do not comply. Is your mega ISP really going to stand up for your rights under this? Can you really get a new ISP at the “press of a few buttons”?
You aren’t the only one here not understanding how “this doesn’t directly affect me” bc you have the technical skills to avoid it. It does affect you, even if only by the chilling effect of it being more difficult to discuss online.
Well, they are idiots, for “as long as men die, liberty will never perish”. But that doesn’t mean they are harmless, we do need to push back against anything like this, not just allow it to happen because “I can press a few buttons”
And how exactly do you plan on addressing through cryptographic hashes, instead of IP addresses directly, where client and server are separated through intermediary nodes? If the site exists on an anonymizing network (like I2P or TOR), it becomes a lot harder to identify the IP address of centralized services, and impossible where decentralized. Well, unless you go fully authoritarian, and only allow weakened encryption standards: exploited by authorities, and others aware of ways to exploit the weaknesses.
But I suppose this further disincentivizes ordinary, less tech-savvy, would-be “pirates”, that need the clear-web for torrent links… Which we should make our responsibility, to enrich the knowledge of said persons, so that they can bypass regulations of governments, that fundamentally act against their best interests. It’s time for people to rediscover torrenting, like many households did in the 2000’s, instead of giving away their freedoms to subscriptions, purely for the sake of short-term convenience.
They don’t give a shit about any of that they just say “jump” and expect people to do something in response
Yeah, I’ll jump…
…onto them and take them to the ground as I beat the shit out of them.
